Maryland about to ban sale of electronic cigarettes

[nicotime]

BigJim its more like ...Welcome to the USSA...United Socialist States of Azzholes! I would say more but then I would be banned also!

Does this mean if I live in MD I cant buy it and have it shipped from a state that is not banned...which wont be the case for long anyway.

Oh no, here we go again. This is clearly the way things are going, isn't it? - we're going to see more and more states deciding to act on this basis..

I'm afraid so

[nicotime]

You watch...once they get this taxed it wont be "Dangerous" anymore.

What we need is for every single ecig vender to reword their websites to be personal vaporizers and to place disclaimers stating that these products are not to be used for nicotine.

Then we can start the real battle which for the most part will be about eliquid.

If the FDA wins the ecig battle they'll stop if they lose they'll start targeting eliquid.

Somebody has shifted tactics. There is a bill in Il. that is worded eeriely alike. They have stopped focusing on PV's in general, and have just put their beady little eyes squarely on nic.

But the law could come back to bite them in the bunz. The way this is worded, and taken out of context, you could have every restaurant in the US with a salad bar or who sells anything with tomato in it shut down for serving a product containing nicotine intended for human consumption which is not a tobacco product and approved by the FDA.

No more marinara sauce, salsa, ketsup, etc.

That, and the way it is worded makes it appear that cigarettes are indeed FDA approved, since the bill proposed bans any nicotine delivery system that is NOT approved by the FDA. So, the way it is worded, since cigarettes are not FDA approved, these states are unwittingly banning cigarettes.

That should go over well with smokers. Lawyers will be making a killing with this one.

I'm going to contact a lawyer and see if I can sue the state of Maryland for my future wrongful death.

Might be an interesting discussion.

Big Jim--Tobacco products have their own special statutory scheme enacted by Congress that is now regulated by the FDA. If the Court upholds that e-cigs are tobacco products, then they can not be banned.

The Court did not just limit it to "traditional tobacco" products, but rather to "all tobacco products"---big difference.
